Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration for St. Johns, FL

Fires are one of the few disasters that can really give homeowners nightmares. Flames consume everything in their way, and the fire leaves behind corrosive byproducts and soot that spread and cause further damage. Any affected structures and furnishings can become permanently damaged in 72 hours. ServiceMaster Restoration of First Coast provides homes and businesses in St. Johns, FL with fire and smoke damage restoration services. Our technicians repair or restore any materials that have suffered damage in addition to preventing corrosive materials like soot and smoke from spreading.

Homes and other buildings often have synthetic materials that, in addition to burning up quickly, release corrosive byproducts. This leads to more damage, making it vital to start restoration once the fire has been extinguished. The smoke, soot, and corrosive byproducts continue to settle even after the fire is out, and they lead to etching and tarnishing that can swiftly gain permanence. Using effective chemical cleaning products and advanced equipment, our technicians are able to eliminate etching and tarnishing from chrome, carpeting, marble, tile, upholstery, aluminum, porcelain, brass, and other household surfaces.

Smoke Damage Restoration

With its ability to spread and harm new areas, smoke is potentially the most damaging part of a fire. Similarly, soot harms materials and surfaces once the fire is out, too. Leaving behind an oily residue, smoke can damage ceilings, walls, and furnishings, causing even more damage. If any of these aren’t restored or cleaned fast enough, then the damage becomes permanent. We use powerful cleaning products to remove residue and soot from damaged materials and surfaces.

Smoke’s other issue is with its odor, which is absorbed by porous materials. Because of this, it is really difficult to remove the odor. Using advanced deodorization equipment and techniques, our technicians at ServiceMaster Restoration of First Coast will remove smoke odors from the air space as well as from affected materials.

A fire in a residential or commercial property is unsafe for everyone, so the first step to take in the event of a fire is to evacuate the property. After making sure that everyone is safe and that the fire is out, it is time for the restoration.
